    I had a 1979 Chevy Beauville from 1984 to 2003, however her last 5 years she sat in the backyard rusting away and ended up selling her! Sad, but during the good years she was amazing having the same color shag carpet with a large vertical window behind driver's seat, charcoal gray exterior with the same Craiger SS rims. The dash was red including the doghouse and even had a small love seat up against the rear bed that actually fit well. Same engine 350x350 with over 130k miles and Thrush dual exhaust out on the side in front of rear tires. You made me wish I had restored her, but now I'm rolling in a 1963 Chevy Impala SS...GREAT JOB restoring this classic van as I will always have a special place in my heart for Van Life!! My friends dubbed her the "F&ck Truck" LMAO!! Dave

  • @VantasticTelevision
    @VantasticTelevision Před 5 měsíci +2

    Initially thought clear the roof - but now I vote match it to one of the side shades of blue... or maybe both blues on the roof somehow. Doubling up those side ports was a wise move. Great job on the van!

  • @todstrucks2919
    @todstrucks2919 Před 8 měsíci +4

    I would spray bedliner on it White will keep it cooler, but you could match the color whatever you want. Beautiful van, giving me lots of ideas.

    Great classic van. Nice to see that you've kept the running boards and bumperettes.
    On the roof, I'd say go on and paint it, as well as touching up some other spots. I'd also be inclined to paint the flares and visors, while you're at it. Naturally, considering the unique nature of that original paint, it's good to preserve what's there.
    Fire extinguisher is a good idea. But, get a bigger one. In my personal experience with vehicle fires, an extinguisher that size, even two of them, wouldn't have helped.
    Nice job on the interior; the classic bar clone is great. Using shag area rugs was something that I had been considering in my van, so I'm delighted to see an example of how that could turn out.

      It’s going to be a tough decision, but I’ll figure it out eventually 😊

  • @davidgentz1731

    It's a nice old ride I would clear the roof and be done with it I'm just finishing up a 94 Chevy van complete paint what a pain in the ass that is painting the roof is the hardest I would just roll some clear on it and call it a day

    I always love the old school cragar SS. I payed a lot more than $400 for mine, that was a great deal. As for that roof, I sanded the rust off and put white elastomeric coating on mine because of the heat.

    • @tommyboombotz
      @tommyboombotz Před 7 měsíci

      Good idea I’ve seen that in use before. Heat really isn’t an issue for me as it’s always covered and it doesn’t really get that hot in North Carolina for too long.

    Clear the roof, that patina is too good to cover. I'd probably do matte, but gloss would be great, too.

    • @tommyboombotz
      @tommyboombotz Před 7 měsíci

      Being that the paint isn’t super glossy, I think matte would be best
